Combined capitalisation sums the computed market caps of the covered companies in this sector — each one shares outstanding from the issuer's own filing times the close on 2026-08-28. It is a sum over a hand-picked set, not the sector's true total and not an index level, and it omits any company for which we hold no sourced share count. Sector assignment is our own classification, not GICS or ICB (both licensed). Provenance.
